Interesting... but still beautiful!

The hotel was super cool. The hotel has its own parking garage, but its $25 a night... which hurts a bit. We got a great deal thru cheaptickets on a single king bed room for only $58 so I can't really complain bc of the deal we got. However, if I had paid for price I may have had some things to say. There were no windows in the room... honestly didn't bother me because we stayed one night.. but I could see it becoming an issue. The bedding looked like a grandmas quilt. The room was pretty small, but it was accommodating. The common areas of the hotel make this place. The pool/courtyard area is absolutely gorgeous. There are several different eating/sitting rooms that are lined with windows if you want to get a view. There were obviously other rooms that had awesome double doors, but like I said ... we took the good deal since we stayed one night. So... overall I love this place. It has such personality! If you plan on staying a while or of you will be in your room a lot I would go for the exterior rooms, but if you are going to enjoy the outdoors of new orleans and want a good deal that is still relaxing and historic... this is your place.

Great Handyman, one grumpy desk woman

One of the front desk woman was grumpy and rude, but the others were wonderful and accommodating. My sink stopper got stuck in the down position and the handyman/bellman who came to fix it was the most wonderful and gracious individual. I learned a lot about NOLA from him. The Room I had was 129, do not get that room. . . It's right on the street level by the street--the others are in the inner courtyard. There are constantly tours going by, so if you want to take a nap--forget it. It's REALLY noisy in the evenings in that room (other rooms are REALLY insulated from the noise). Friday it quieted by 10, but Sat night it was all night long. Not a constant din, but every so often, people shouting and yelling about every 30 to 60 minutes. The room was HUGE, the bathrooms gorgeous, the bed comfy enough, there were SO many towels, too. The inner courtyard tables were always available for chit chatting with friends. Don't expect much for breakfast. Juice coffee and not-that-great croissants. I've had worse though!

worth it

The hotel is in an excellent location. In fact, its unbeatable. The main issues are: the interior rooms are windowless and thus incredibly dark. And the hotel was so busy that it took a long time to get service [such as having our luggage stored]. Overall, it was worth the stay for the price.

Best location

The location of the hotel was the best for anyone interested in staying in the French Quarter. The hotel staff was very friendly and extremely helpful. The rooms were clean and serviced well by housekeeping. The only issue was that you could hear noise from rooms next to you and particularly above. It wasn't bad enough to keep you awake, but if you were awake, you could hear it very plainly. Other than that, the overall experience was great. If we get a chance to return, we would definitely use this hotel again.

Preservation Hall for jazz without alcohol... the Hall or its small room with only benches or floor space for seating is the pits, but the place is still great with its authentic spirit.
